Guest shinset Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 looks like Skate just landed in france http://www.sfr.fr/mobile/telephone-portable/android-edition-staraddict?vue=000029 the price tag is more expensive than UK right ?
Guest lordjubblydave Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) Are you sure that is the skate? My monte carlo does not have any silver on it other than the earpiece. Also the camera is a different shape Edited August 23, 2011 by lordjubblydave
Guest shinset Posted August 23, 2011 Report Posted August 23, 2011 Im pretty sure its the same , just différent casing (skate OEM and OMC , and this one for carrier ?) Ill check tomorrow if I can found one in SFR shop

Ill check tomorrow if I can found one in SFR shop i've seen plenty of posts elsewhere saying that it is an unbranded zte blade (looks like they branded the case not the os!) and it should be sim unlocked if my french law knowledge serves me well. this site kind of confirms it's made by zte at least - the official bluetooth site: http://www.bluetooth.com/Pages/Product-Listing-Detail.aspx?ProductID=17514 200e = 175gbp, so way overpriced compared the the orange monte carlo, but cheap for an unbranded/unlocked zte skate.

I think that, SFR Staraddict is Skate in cool looking casing. SFR Startrail is Blade in ugly casing. ;) The page says that Staraddict has 4,3" screen so it must be Skate. It's also been on the threads before that they are going to rebrand Skate as SFR Staraddict. Edited August 24, 2011 by KonstaT

Guest nash1977 Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 Sim free - 209.90 euros - £183 PAYG - 199.90 euros - £175 Sim free a much better price compared to the price of the Skate at £220. The Staraddict is the Skate but with a different casing
Guest GeiZt Posted August 24, 2011 Report Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) sim free, but not unlocked! you will have to wait 3 months or pay 60€ if you want to unlock it earlier... just have been told in support chat of them any ideas to unlock earlier on sfr? Edited August 24, 2011 by GeiZt
Guest Migun Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Not Vodafone ;) SFR is currently 100% owned by the French group Vivendi. The SFR mobile phone network infrastructure was built by the mobile phone giant Vodafone, who previously had a 44% share in SFR until April 2011 when it sold the entire share back to Vivendi. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SFR
Guest john.smith Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Staraddict looks so much better than Monte Carlo IMO. Let's see if we can swap the case (and physical keys) in the sooner future Startrail = ZTE Libra Staraddict I have no idea. Doesn't look like a ZTE device.
Guest sej7278 Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 sim free, but not unlocked! you will have to wait 3 months or pay 60€ if you want to unlock it earlier... just have been told in support chat of them any ideas to unlock earlier on sfr? so after 3 months they will unlock for free? what about if you're already with them for 3 months?
Guest hecatae Posted August 25, 2011 Report Posted August 25, 2011 Startrail = ZTE Libra Staraddict I have no idea. Doesn't look like a ZTE device. Phoenix_Silver and Pelemane have both confirmed it is the ZTE Skate
Guest Simon O Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Phoenix_Silver and Pelemane have both confirmed it is the ZTE Skate Great. It looks better than the effort we have in the UK.
Guest Sebastian404 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 a more important question is has anyone got one yet? :)
Guest knuckless69 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 I could get a hold of one next thursday. would a rom port to the monte carlo make it sim free?
Guest tilal6991 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 I could get a hold of one next thursday. would a rom port to the monte carlo make it sim free? Most probably - yes. That is if its unlocked.
Guest unrandomsam Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 Most probably - yes. That is if its unlocked. I would say unless Zte have made another serious schoolboy error then it won't make any difference whatsoever.
Guest Sebastian404 Posted August 26, 2011 Report Posted August 26, 2011 I guess we dont know until we try it.... I'm currently working on an updated version of romdump too :)
Guest shinset Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 ZTE SKATE unbranded (unlocked ?) is coming http://www.cdiscount.com/telephonie/telephone-mobile/zte-skate-43-noir/f-144040203-zteskateno.html
Guest tilal6991 Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 ZTE SKATE unbranded (unlocked ?) is coming http://www.cdiscount...zteskateno.html Yes it looks like it. Can anyone get their hands on one?
Guest shinset Posted August 31, 2011 Report Posted August 31, 2011 Yes it looks like it. Can anyone get their hands on one? Waiting for cdiscount price to think about it
Guest magikstar29 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 hello everyone, I just received my skate SFR (staraddict) with 2GB SD card supplied: -> android gingerbread 2.3.4 -> version baseband: P743B01 -> kernel version: 2.6.35.7-perf + zte-kernel @ Zdroid-SMT -> Build Number: GB_P743FV1.0.0B03 impression of the moment: -> start much faster than the blade (splash screen and bootanimation base) -> very reactive -> much faster in use -> much better sound quality than the blade -> ease of use with its large 4.3 "screen

Guest magikstar29 Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 any chance you can dump the rom so a dev can take a peek i can if someone tell me how can i backup all the rom
Guest unrandomsam Posted September 1, 2011 Report Posted September 1, 2011 i can if someone tell me how can i backup all the rom use adb reboot bootloader (I think this works ? even though it shouldn't) then use fastboot boot to boot a recovery image fastboot boot whatever.img then back it up from clockworkmod or you could use the (exploit less ) new version of romdump or QPST or PSAS
